 Yesterday heinz Washington's birthday there Was no session held. and inc day before, one of only an hour. so that there was not much business done last week, with the exception of today, when they got away with a good deal of accumu lated code commission work; some of these bills take three or four hours to read through, and the en- rolling and expressing clerks of both houses will have to work night and day to get them all prop erlv enrolled before the end of the session.
 Little Steve is working like a Trojan in the council. He Is on the committee of enrolled and en- grossed bills and they have to read and compare every bill which is engrossed or enrolled and this reduces his leisure time to mini mum, and often makes him wonder, I suspect, "Is life worth livlng?'
 Tho Hon. P. J. is getting up a bill to protect depositors in bank ing or other similar institutions, and to punish officers for violating public or private trusts.

There are lots Of poor peo- pic in the country, who remember with sorrow, the time when Hud- son x Co. failed and dragged them in the ruins, who might, had the law been in effect, have had, at least, some redress.

 The El Paso Times kicks thusly. concerning q new enactment by the Texas Legislature. The fol- lowing is the new pistol law, as passed by both houses: If any person in this state shall carry on or about his person, saddle, or in his saddle-bags, any pistol, dirk, dagger, slungshot, sword-cane, spear, knuckles made of any metal or any hard substance, bowie knife or any other kind of knife manu- facturcd or sold for purposes of offcnse or defense. shall be punish ed by a fine of not less than twenty-five nor more than two hun dred dollars. and shall be confined in the county jail not less than twenty Tor more than fifty days" The law is to take effect ninty days from its passage This Is pretty tight. Now there ought to be a supplementary act passed for the benefit of Fl Paso and other bor- dar towns to the effect that any hold-up, train-robber or footpad unlawfulIy pursuing his calling, shall, if ever caught, be fined for the first of1ense not less than five dollars nor than ten. It seems that law-abiding citizen is to be hereafter completely at the mercy of any marauding tramp. Texas is accumulatinG q nice lot of blue laws" Next we will have Sunday and prohibitory laws. However, there is one consolation-for ten cents we can get across the river on Sundays, and enjoy ourselves Tn q quiet and rational manner without getting in jail for it.

HE Miles county bill having for it's object thc creation of q new county cut of the choicest portions of Cochise and Graham passed the House last Thursday by q vote of h to 6. This is the same vote by which this same bill under the name of Sierra Bonito passed the House in the last legislature: but it did not avail it any as it was efiectually killed in the Council through the exertions of the Hon. Wm. Harwood, the loyal council man from Cochise. notwithstand- ing it had the support of Bridwell, tho councilmen from Graham. The present bill does not go to the Council with the same strength as its predecessor. So far as we can learn both couniclmen from Co ciise and Graham MesSrs. Biinn and Stevens are opposed to it and with this opposition it's death in the Conncil Is | foregone conclus- ion. But 1T. hy any means. this outrageous Miles county bill should become q law, Wa are of tho opinion that 1t can be fought sue cessfully in the courts. If the leg iSlation of one or two counties Is not special legislation as contem- plated by the Harrison bill. we are much mistaken and the citizens of this section have determined that the supreme court will have to pass on the matter before they believe otherwise. We however trust it will not ge. to this as litigation is Il very expensive luxury. We have full faith in the loyalty of Biinn and Little Steve" to their consti- tutents aud trust. with good man agement, they will be able to pre- serve their respective counties in tact

discussed. There was Dublin news
paper man sitting il front of one of our
hotels and he overheard several gentle
men discussing the matter. He was too
happy even to stay in Fort
Worth last night, and took the
first train for home to carry the good
news to his people. 1t is said that the
country to be traversed by the Fort Worth
and Rio Grande will offer no great obsts-
cles to the engineers and that the line will
be located to San Angelo before many
weeks have passed. Fort Worth has
always set great store by this road, and
felt that her railroad system would always
be incomplete until this road was built.
1t was whispered about last night
that the telegraph wires to New York
have been kept hot since the election of
directors last week, and that the New
York and Fort Worth directors
are q unit in regard to the
extension, and that the construction
is to be pushed as rapidly as men and
money can do it. The bridge over the
BrazOs will soon be in and trains will be
running to Granbury, and as the months
go by, and not many of them, either,
TIE GAZETTE will chronicle the
farther progress of this road, the building
of which Fort Worth owes TO the indom-
liable will, the ceaseless labor and the
untiring energy of the editor railroad
president, B. B Paddock. On to San
Angelo.

ing the Texas and Pacific Railway
Company, Judge Howe of this city, rep
resenting the receivers of the Texas and
Pacific, Winston S. Horace Jr., of New
York, representing the trustees of the in
come land grant mortgage on said road,
and Mr.. Dale of Philadelphia, on behalf
of the Fidelity Trust Company, yesterday
argued in the United States Circuit court
in this city, Judge Don a. Pardee, pre-
siding, an application of foreign holders
for the conveyance to the bondholders of
certain lands belonging to the Texas and
Pacific Railway in Texas. These
lands became the property of
the railroad by virtue of land grant on
the part Of the state of Texas. The in
debtedness of the land grant mortgage
amounts to about 100000 on the first
mortgage, $500, 900 on the consolidated
mortgages, considerably over 100000
on the income mortgages, nearly S8,000,-
900 of principal and nearly S2,909,000 of
outstanding scrip issued in lieu of inter
est. The Indebtedness on the terminal
mortgages amounts to $4,000, 900 on the
New Orleans Pacific division. and on the
Rio Grande division to $4,000, 900.
There are unsold land grants amounting
to 100000 acres involved in this case.

cific Railroad under the various mort
cages submitted. The different suits on

The Atchisou, Topeka and Santa Fe
Company is credited with another gil
gantic railroad scheme, which, If con-
summated, will add materially to the
commercial interests of Kansas City.
DR.. Holcombe of Topeka, the state
veterinarian of Kansas, who is quite fs
miliar with the railroad as well as the
stock interests of Kansas, stated yester-
day that he had it on good authority
t1at the Santa Fe people would ex-
EAG the northern branch of that
road to the Colorado line, and from
thence to Cheyenne City, Wy. T. The
line as mapped out thus far on the Santa
Fe map leaves the main line at Strong
City and runs in northerly direction to
Junction City. From thence it takes q
westerly course to Minneapolis and Stock
ton. Here the line terminates, but it YVES
stated the company would extendt the lire
through the second tier Of counties to the
Colorado line, where 1t would take
northwesterly course to Cheyenne City,
with branch to Denver This was re-
garded as a movement on the part of the
company to tap the northern agricultural
regions of Kansas, as we'll as the great
live stock regions Of Wyoming and North
ern Colorado, and would necessarily give
the Kansas City market the benefit of the
products of that rich county, Kansas

This was the way a country blacksmith
was seen removing that portion of az ak
handle from an SIX that remained in the
eye, the break being close to the iron:
The wood could not be driven out, and,
as nails had been driven in at the end,
could not be bored out. he drove the
bit Of sharp edge into some moist earth
aud then built a fire around the project
ing part. The wood was soon charred so
that it was easily removed. The moist
earth so protected the tempered part of
the ak that itsustained no injury.
Browning" oranges grown in the
West Indies and Mexico, so that they
shall pass muster as real Florida fruit, is
the device of an enterprising Yankee
The process consists of putting the fruit
into large sieve and passing it over q
hot fire until the oranges contained
therein are sufficiently scorched, techni-
CaIly "browned," to give the true Florida
tinge, which is peculiar to that delicious
orange. The "browned" fruit is mostly
shipped north and west.

expanding and contracting of the strings,
as generally supposed, but to the varia-
tions produced IN the sounding boards
under the influence of the increased dry
ness of the air, especially in furnace
heated houses. Sounding boards are
made of spruce, because of the superior
resonance of that timber; but spruce of
all woods, is most affected by changes in
temperature.
It often is desirable to make eXcava-
lions for pipes in very cold weather,
when the earth is frozen. The EIectricita
says that quick lime has been tried for
tnawing the surface with success. The
ground to be dug is covered with alter
uate layers of lime and snow. The slack
ing lime heats the soil so effeCtually that
after ten or fifteen hours it may be re-
moved with ease.
One who claims TO have tried it says
that rubber may be fastened TO iron by
means of paint composed of powdered
shellac stepped in about ten times it's
weight of concentrated ammonia. 1t
should be allowed to stand three or four
weeks before being used.
A new theory of the final destruction
of the earth is that the polar ice is pene-
trAting the interior OF the globe like 8
wedge, and that as soon as it reaches the
furnace there will be an explosion that
will split the world into pieces too small
for truck patches.

NEW YORK, June l5.-The Tribune
states that the Pennsylvania Railroad has
purchased the Burger Point and Port
Richmond Ferry Company. 1t was
stated yesterday that mile of water front
at each point will thus pass into the
hands of the Pennsylvania Company. In
light of recent purchases of land on
Staten Island by the road, the acquisition
of these rights and franchises by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has sug-
gested the possibility that the PennsYl-
vania Company proposed to erect on
Staten Island a great shipping and re-
ceiving station.
